So me and my buddy are having a sort of 'cross-cultural' exchange thing, I needed someone to go see Rancid with but in turn I have to go to a rap/hiphop gig with him...I can't even remember who it is unfortunately ...

Point being I've never been to a concert like this before, so I'm not sure what to do!! Most gigs I go have a few drinks and skank around like an idiot (not like a **** ) and enjoy myself but I know this will be completely different, probably a lot more chilled and downbeat I'm assuming. Anyone have any ideas?? Do people just stand and tap to the beat or are they a lot livelier than I think ???

Depends on who you're seeing. If it's some lame puddin'-ass cornball, don't expect a good time. If it's some hard shit, go nuts. Some of the more alternative hip hop shows can get surprisingly lively, with stage dives and mosh pits and everything.

do what everyone else is doing. you don't wanna be acting wild if you're the only one, but you don't wanna be mr "too cool" standing around nodding your head with your arms crossed if everyone else is dancing and moving.
